Information Sheet 1.2.1
Procedure in PCB Designing
Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Acquire knowledge how to design printed circuit board.
2. Perform Printed circuit board designing using the circuit
diagram of variable regulated AC/DC power supply.
3. Understand the importance of printed circuit board designing in
making PCB module
A printed circuit board (PCB) has components inserted into

the hole and soldered to form its circuit connection. Its main
purpose is to reduce the space and to troubleshoot easily when
problem arises.
The printed circuit board (PCB) has conductors that are thin
strip of copper,
usually bonded to a baseboard called substrate. There are two very
common
substrate materials used in printed circuit, the phenolic and epoxy
plastic.
Copper
Substrat
e
Printed Circuit Board
In PCB designing, we should not focus only on the size of the pathways
linking to the other component, but also on the types, kinds, and
characteristics of component. Here are the other design factors needed:

1. PCB size and shape. The PCB must be big enough for the entire
component to be mounted where it is anticipated.
2. Position of the Terminal. Input, output and supply voltage if possible
should be placed near the border for easier way during
troubleshooting or minor repair.
3. High Temperature Dissipation. Too much heat is the number one
problem of all components. Bigger space is needed so that heat sink
can be provided to the component. This will protect the component
from burning up.
4. Accessibility of Components. This component that is adjustable or
variable (example: potentiometer, trimmer resistor or capacitor)
should be placed near the border to make the troubleshooting or
minor repair easier.
5. Space for Bolt and Nut. The designer should place an allowance for
mounting the PCB with bolt and nut in securing the entire board to
the chassis.
6. Different Types of Circuit Should be grouped according to its
Application. This will enhance the circuit operation and will prevent it
from distortion generated by other circuit. This is the reason why the
circuit of the power supply is far from the audio circuit.
Procedure in PCB designing
1. Prepare the tools and materials needed in lay outing and designing
a PCB
Tools and materials needed:

Ruler
Utility cutter
Permanent marker
Pencil and Eraser

Example position of the pads or terminals of the components
4. Interconnect the traces to the pads/terminals of the components

depending on the connections of the components to one another.
Make sure that the traces will be the same as the connection of the
schematic diagram.

5. Finalized your design with the actual size of the component,
terminals and size of the PCB (1 x 2) to check the spacing of
the components. It should not be on top of the other components.

1. Acquire knowledge how to layout printed circuit board.
2. Perform Printed circuit board layout using the circuit diagram of
variable regulated AC/DC power supply.
3. Understand the importance of printed circuit board layout in
making PCB module
In every electronic activity specially PCB layout can be performed (using

CAD ) or in combination with an Autorouter, The results are usually still
achieved using at least some manual routing simply because the design
engineer has a far better judgement of how arrange circuitry.Surprisingly,
many autorouted boards are often illogical in track routing the program has
optimized the connections an sacrificed any small amount of order that may
have been put in place by manual routing. Generally autorouted boards are
somewhat harder for a technician to repair debug; for this reason. Historically,
PCBs used to be laid out by using stick on paper shapes and ape on mylar
drafting film, - that really WAS manual routing.

Procedure in PCB ETCHING
1. Acquire knowledge how to etch printed circuit board.
2. Perform Printed circuit board etching using the materials needed
in PCB etching.
3. Understand the importance of printed circuit board etching in
making PCB module
Printed Circuit Board Etching is where the excess copper is removed to

leave the individual tracks or traces as they are sometimes called. Buckets,
bubble tanks, and spray machines are tools to do different ways of etching but
most firms currently use high pressure conveyors spray equipment. Spray
etching is fast Ammoniacal etching solutions when sprayed can etch 55
microns of copper a minute. Less than 40 seconds to etch a standard 1
oz, 35 micron circuit board.
Many different chemical solutions can be used to etch circuit

boards ranging from slow controlled speed etches used for surface
preparation to the faster etches used for etching the tracks. Some are
best used in horizontal spray process equipment while others are best
used in tanks. Enchants for PTH work have to be selective and be non-
aggressive to tin / tin lead plating, which is used as the etch resists.
Copper etching is normally exothermic where high speed etching is
carried out solution cooling is normally required. This is normally done
by placing titanium water cooling coils into the enchant. Almost all
etching solutions liberate toxic corrosive fumes. Extraction is
highly recommended. All enchants are corrosive and toxic mainly due to
the high metal content. P.P.E. Personal Protection Equipment must
always be used. Spent solutions should always be disposed properly
and not to be spilled down local drains where they can pollute local
sewage works and rivers.
Printed Circuit Board Etching
It is the removal of unwanted portion or layer of conductive

materials (that is copper) bonded to an insulating base called
substrate. By using a chemical reaction to the copper called ferric
chloride, it liquefies the uncovered surfaces of the designed copper
clad board that creates a PCB.
Tools and Materials Needed In PCB Etching
1. Designed PCB
2. A bottle of the Ferric Chloride. (The quantity of bottle will
depend upon the area of the PCB).
3. Plastic Basin. It is the medium of ferric chloride
4. Popsicle sticks (2 pieces). It is used for hauling the designed PCB.
5. Old newspaper. It is placed under the plastic basin for the
prevention of accidental spill of chemical over the table.
6. Apron
7. Piece of Cloth
8. Plastic Varnish 1 bottle
9. Lacquer Thinner
10. Surgical Gloves
11. Knife or Cutter
PROCEDURE IN PCB ETCHING

1. Prepare the necessary tools and materials needed in PCB etching.
2. Wear your apron and surgical gloves in order to prevent accidental
splash of the solution on your clothes or on your skin.
3. Pour the ferric chloride in the plastic basin.

with ferric chloride
5. After 10 - 15 minutes, check the PCB if all the parts needed

to be removed are totally etched (using the two Popsicle
sticks in hauling). If not yet, return it into the plastic basin
filled with ferric chloride. After 3 - 5 minutes check it again.
6. Haul the PCB from the plastic basin and wash it in a free flowing
water to remove the remaining residue in the PCB.

7. With a clean and dry piece of cloth, wipe the wet PCB.
8. Pour a little amount of lacquer thinner on a clean dry piece of

cloth and wipe the markings of the permanent marker pen in the
copper clad. (Note: In doing this, you should wear your surgical
gloves.)

9. Aided by bright light, inspect the PCB for possible hairline break
or short. If there is a hairline path between the copper
conductors, cut it by a knife or cutter. And if there is a break
between the copper conductors, solder it.
PCB Light
10. Apply plastic varnish to the newly etched PCB to prevent corrosion
or rust, and let it dry before touching it.
Techniques to correct PCB Hairline Break or Short
A. Hairline Break. It is an open copper foil in the Printed Circuit

Board. Most of the time this is due to improper PCB designing or
etching. To
eliminate the hairline break, just place a hook up wire and solder
it.
Hairline Break
B. Hairline Short in the PCB Conductor. It arises if the printed

circuit board designing or etching is done improperly. To eliminate
the hairline short, you should cut it with a knife.

Procedure in Drilling
1. Acquire knowledge how to drill printed circuit board.
2. Perform Printed circuit board drill using the Mini drill.
3. Understand the importance of printed circuit board drill in making
PCB module
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill beat to cut a hole of circular cross section in solid
material, the drill beat is rotary cutting tools, often multi point, the beat is pressed against the
work piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolution per minute. This
forces the cutting edge against the work piece, cutting off chips (swarf) from the
hole as it is drilled. Exceptionally, specially-shaped bits can cut holes of non-
circular cross-section; a square cross-section is possible,
How to set up Mini Drill
1. Loosen the chuck by using a long metal tool and change the drill bit.
This is done in a counter clockwise movement.
